I got it off UBID for 155 shipped! It came with a remote, a modulator box so I have AV 1, AV 2, CATV, and regualer TV hook ups, and 2 antennas! GOt a good deal I think!

How did you mount it, is it fixed to the same mounting as the
mirror? And are you running the audio out from your TV signal source to an FM modulator? When I tried that I found that the frequency set kept drifting slightly so I had to keep readjusting my preset on the head unit for the drift. Probably just my modulator though! If you have a photo of the mounting I'd like to see it, Thanx.... Jon

Yea I really didnt want to drill any holes so I hooked it to the bracket that hold the mirror on. I mad my own L shape bracket and used the piece that held the tv to the orginal bracket for this one. I drilled a hole in the L shape and the screwed the piece to hold the TV on. Yea my modulator works fine with regular TV but seem to distort with the playstaition 2. Not sure why?

Just in case anybody is interested, my JDM Celica was called an "Entertainment Edition" and came stock with a TOYOTA 12 disc changer and a 4' in-dash TV with video inputs. It's pretty sweet but I took it out for my double-din Kenwood and I'm going to mount another one somewhere else. I'll get rid of it for pretty cheap if anybody is interested. I'm not sure what wires are needed on the male harness but I'm sure ToyotaWorld could give you some useful info. If anybody wants it, hit me up and give me a quote, I'll give you all the other info on it.
